Once in the Writers Desk of AutoCrit, you have 3 options to quickly start a file:
1. Upload, 2. Blank Document, 3. Copy & Paste.


​

These options are detailed below:

  1. Upload File

    The file name in AutoCrit will match the name of your file. You can choose to upload a MS Word .docx, rich text .rtf, or plain text .txt file. The file will initially be saved in the Uncategorized folder shown as number #5 in the image. If you wish to move the file to a different folder or rename it, you can click on the file menu (3 dots) to open the file menu.

  2. Blank Document

    Here you can open a new blank document. You can immediately type and or copy/paste text and run reports. The file will automatically be saved as an "untitled" file in the your Uncategorized folder shown as #5. If you have multiple "untitled" files in your folder, you can find a specific file using the created on time stamp displayed in the file drop down. If you wish to move the file to a different folder or rename it, you can click on the file menu (3 dots) to open the file menu.

  3. Copy & Paste

    This functions the exact same way as Blank Document noted above.

  4. Projects Menu

    Here you can create a new project folder. This will allow you to move files from your uncategorized folder to organize them in other named folders.

  5. Uncategorized folder

    This is the location where all the files from 1, 2, and 3 will initially be saved in the system.
